Sorry, but I thought it childish, and detractive. As a society we have lost even the pretense to dignity. The country has turned into one big sandbox. Discourse has been reduced to the level of mud wresting, even so low as cockfighting.

Education has become a deadly form of child abuse. The universities have become nothing but recruiting centers and training grounds that foster perversion, degeneracy, belligerence, rebelliusness and disrespect while they work to increase technical proficiency.

This One, Mystere faked comments (on his WordPress blog) to make it look like you were using racial slurs to attack him. I assume you never saw them, but there were quite a few "This One" comments on that blog (all fake, I'm guessing). WordPress came down on him for the fake comments (after I reported him) and suspended ALL his WordPress blogs (including a number I wasn't aware of at the time).

Dervish, you're still upset about someone supposedly hacking your Gravatar account? You recklessly accuse me of hacking your Gravatar account. I have no idea who hijacked it or if you faked a hijacking by giving any number of your buttboys short term access to your account to fake post something for you. I got notified by Yahoo about someone or a group of individuals hacking a number of Yahoo accounts. And why did I suddenly see my old blog enemy Irl Hudnutt suddenly appear on your hate blogs? Irl Hudnutt hacked my Google account years ago and attacked a friend of a friend of mine (Porky) by getting Google to wipe his account out. You'll get caught screwing around one day when you least expect it at your worst possible moment.

Yes, liar, I am "still" upset about your hacking of my Gravatar account. Why wouldn't I be? I don't know Irl Hudnutt. Sounded to me like a name you made up when you first mentioned him. He appears to be real, however. Unlike your imaginary friends Porky, donkey's revenge and rattrapper (your sockpuppets).

FYI, I have zero "buttboys" or "buttbois" (however you choose to spell it). I also do not wear L'eggs brand pantyhose (unlike you).

Mystere, as a fellow Christian I would advise you to pity poor fools, and please "fret not thyself, because of evildoers." Instead, please "rest in the Lord, wait patiently for Him, and He will give thee thy heart's desires. Commit thy ways unto Him and trust in Him."

Do your best to do that, and I fervently believe all will be well for you and those you love in the long run.

"Blessed are they who die in the Lord, for they shall have comfort ,,,"

Well Franco, at least I did what God asked me to do by setting the record straight. When Lester dies in his sins, he can't excuse himself and try to toss the stench back at me. The stench of his retort is now permanently on him because you and I did our jobs.

Rightards are actually stupid enough to believe they are the only Americans capable of patriotism and displays like this upsets liberals. Questioning the patriotism of those with opposing viewpoints, especially on the 4th of July is why the right are the true fascists in America today.

Eager, no. But if the Left continues through 'Resistance' to demand a open return of the fasces, so be it. Trump will have plenty of lictors willing and able to unbundle the sticks and heft the axe when the time comes.

‘At the beginning’ of the law, there is a certain ‘outlaw,’ a certain Real of violence which coincides with the act itself of the establishment of the reign of law: the ultimate truth about the reign of law is that of a usurpation, and all classical politico-philosophical thought rests on the disavowal of this violent act of foundation . . . this illegitimate violence by which law sustains itself must be concealed at any price because this concealment is the positive condition of the functioning of law: it functions insofar as its subjects are deceived, insofar as they experience the authority of law as authentic and eternal.

In actual practice Fascism and Commnism are identical twins. Mediaeval Catholicism would be an dentical triplet if it still exixted today.. There is no appreciable differenceaming these things, because all hate freedom, all are based on a negative view of life, allare inherently tyrannical and none are the least bit hesitant to use deadly force to ensure and protect their power.

I think we should all be embarrassed by racist scum like the Radical Redneck. trumpers are not, of course. They are all racist or at least willing to ignore the racism of the bigot-in-chief. These are dark times for our country. That democracy may not survive isn't something to be "happy" about at all. At least not for real patriots.

My goodness, the lefties are such sore losers. Rather then just accept the fact that their policies are being soundly rejected and adjust them they stupidly race farther left and were even ignorant enough to jump for joy when they elect a 29 year old communist in a NY primary.

As I said ...... to Rusty ...... leftists have no common sense, and no wisdom. I should add no ability to understand parallels, the meaning of inferences and implications, and no appreciation of figurative language.

They seem to rely solely on a wholly negative, permanently combative. hostile stance against the world, on mockery, sarcasm, denial, and a dogged, dull, listeralistic interpretation of every word printed or said aloud in public.

Leftists have little or no understanding of subtlety, little or no appreciation of wit, no apparent abiity to see humor in the human condition. Not only that they seem in.capable of empathy.

This mantra-like insistence in which most of them indulge that insists sociaism is not an offshoot of basic communist tenets betrays one of three things ...... deceitfulness, disingenuousness or complete idiocy.

Abundant examples proving this analysis appear right here on this page.

Oh, and I forgot to add that leftists have a weird determination to mislabel and misidentify whatever and whomever they don't like probably for the following reasons in no particular order:

1. To distract others from the point at hand, and thus derail honest, pertinent conversation.

2. To spread confusion which has always been their stock-in-trade

3. To try to make themselves appear more intelligent and more perceptive than they really are

4. To provoke as much unpleasantness and cynicism as possible thus damaging any chances for amicability

5. Primarily to ATTRACT ATTENTION to THEMSELVES.

Though they'd be the last to admit it, leftists don't want anyone to discuss issues and philsophical points of contention soberly and intelligently. Their main aim is to pollute and muddy the waters which, of course, diverts attention away from honest, potentially constructive discourse.

Again I have to say this blog, because of its extreme permissiveness, is a great venue for letting leftists expose themselves publicly without shame for exactly what they are.

What that is I must leave to you to explain, because I don't believe in using expletives.

Dropped his "i'm an old man who is almost blind" sthick too. Which I didn't believe. I know someone with age related macular degeneration, and they don't read, use email or the computer any longer. Yet the "almost blind" FT blogs and comments actively.

He is someone's sockpuppet and FT is a good guess. Same BS about the Left being guilty of everything trumpers are guilty of. One thing is certain, and that is that Franco isn't your sockpuppet. The tired bullplop he spews doesn't match the juvenile anus-obsessed idiocy you and your sockpuppets (donkey's revenge and rattrapper) are infamous for. At all.

Maybe he, like me, didn't appreciate having sticky, bad smelling filth attach itself to his remarks. Since you are obviously opaque, intensely bigotted, and morally blind, you never thought of that, did you?

Franco don't be discouraged, there are many here who appreciate your sagacious and measured input. We aren't as loud as the filth but there are many more of us.

With few exceptions Lisa allows these losers to show their asses here. Countless times a day. I think it's overall a good thing but if it were my call, I'd be much less permissive.

The only place I would differ is I would delete everything This One excretes unceremoniously like every other blog out there does. Xe adds nothing but vile nasty mindless filth. Xe has ZERO redeeming qualities. Not even unintentional humour or even a worthwhile bad example.

Thank you very kindly, RR. I think you must know that it's very hard to swim across a body of water filled with sharp rocks, snags. alligators, piranhas, water mocassins and whirlpools that constantly interrupt your progress and sap your strength as they suck you down beneath the surface, and force you to fight your way back up to where you can breathe again.. It's even harder when the water gets filled more and more with raw sewage, and the dead bodies of friends and allies.

But one has to keep trying to swim in spite of all that, if one hopes to get to the Other Side.

And what is that Other Side? Some might call it The Promised Land. Some might think of it as Home. Some mi[ight see it as Victory in a particular battle. Others might think of it as Heaven.

Whatever it could be, we have no choice but to keep swimming, even if we die in the attempt to reach the Other Side.

Whether we succeed or not doesn't matter. Our Reward and Redemption come from simply having tried as hard as we could to do our best as long as we remain alive in this world.

I have heard through thle grapevine that Lisa's husband is seriously ill. I am very sorry to learn that, but hope he will recover fully very soon, and get back to living happily and productively. For whatever it may be worth Lisa and her husband are now on my prayer list.

May the Lord bless you and keep you. May He make His face to shine upon you, and be gracious unto you and give you peace.

And for the record I wish the same for everyone, even the rudest, most fractious, cynical, and incorrigible among us.

"Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

"Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake."

She certainly gives a lot of credence to the Throwback Theory, doesn't she?

One spectacularly ugly, cheap ululating noisemaker like that could easily set the progress of Race Relations back a couple of hundred years. at least

That stupid woman has done more to promote the cause of bigotry and intolerance than anyone since the days of Bull Connor, Huey Long, and Byron de la Beckwith.

The worst thing about it is that It's so unfair to the growing number of Negroes like Dr. Carson and Condoleezza Rice and others less well known who've done a magnificent job of realizing their great human potential through honest hard work and great forebearance.

Go in peace, brother. No one wants to harm you. Our hope is to save you from your sadly misguided proclivities, but no one can be forced to accept salvation. Hard words and the threat of dire punishment, even death, certainly will not do it. So by all means go your own way. All i wuld ask/ us that you keep your eyes and ears open at all times, and be receptive to the possibility of new and agreeable chances.

Truth always wins in the end, and at that time one of us will be proven right. Ot maybe bith of us will be proven wrong. Omly ttme will tell.

I'm usually late to the party when it comes to what's "hip" at the moment but the other night I stumbled across something very entertaining. If you have Netflix check out Santa Clarita Diet. It's one of the funniest and well written shows on the tube. Hell, the other night I stayed up till 3:00 a.m. and polished off two bottles of Oregon Pinot Noir watching the show

Oh my! Already a counterfeit of me, and I've only been around for two or three days.

As I said before, and will probably repeat many times again, since the situation with the gaggle of goons is not apt to change, when a supposedly adult blog gets used first as childrens' sandbox, and soon thereafter as a letterbox, it's time to shake off the filth, wash up and head for home.

Please concentrate your best thoughts on the safe deliverance of the eight boys and their leader still trapped in that flooded cave in Thailand after seventeen days. Prayers for the efficacy and safe conduct of the brave men who are doing their best to rescue them are needed every bit as much.

"... If a piece of the contenent washes away, Europe is the less ... Ask not for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee.:

MAE SAI, Thailand — Four more boys trapped for more than two weeks in a partially flooded cave here were brought out Monday, raising to eight the number of youths rescued but still leaving four young soccer players and their coach awaiting freedom. An aide to the Thai Navy SEALs commander confirmed that four boys were brought out Monday. Authorities said the four brought out Sunday were in good condition. (Snip) The rescue was put on hold Sunday night to allow rescuers to restock the cave with oxygen tanks. The effort cranked up again Monday morning local time ...

No, I do not think RN is frightened by faith. He is frightened (as am I) by people who believe they are followers of Jesus, but who actually serve Satan. I refer to racists like Klansman Shackelford. These are fake Christians who want to impose their morality on everyone. They have no tolerance or compassion for their fellow man, only hate.

Quite to the contrary Klansman Shackelford. I was frightened BEFORE I finally shed the shackles of faith and mysticism years ago. I cannot tell for sure of course, but, odds are it is you Klansman that is fearful and lacks understanding.

Funny Klansman Shackelford, you make that statement frequently. I have yet to see anyone's head explode. We're sure you fervently wish to see someone's head on the left explode however. Perhaps if you have faith and pray hard enough to your tRumpian god it will happen eh?

RN is correct about loss of freedoms. I don't recall him predicting civil war. I surely would not rule it out, however. I think we will see mass civil disobedience first, however. Millions of people taking to the streets, worker strikes... that kind of thing. I doubt the majority will accept minority rule and do nothing.

The Democrats need to resit ANY nominee that the Orange Turd puts forth. Remember that some Republicans said (prior to the election) they would seek to deny Hillary Clinton a pick and hold open the vacancy for the entire 4 years of her term?

Trump should certainly not be allowed to chose another justice while under investigation. Whether or not a sitting predisent can pardon himself (and other questions concerning Trump and his collusion with Russia) may come before the court in the near future. Trump is trying to rig the outcome by picking his own jurors. To this I say NO!!

A Conservative SCOTUS will get busy rolling back rights for many Americans. Excepting, perhaps, rich White men. The Klansman sees himself as belonging to this privileged group, so he thinks he is safe. Those who lose rights will be all those he hates. Poor people, women, workers, and minorities.

The oligarchic theocracy that evil pseudo Christians like the Klansman long for is close to becoming a reality. The destruction of America as we know it began with the "election" of Trump. Anyone cheering this is an enemy of America, as Trump is.

Frankly Klansman Shackelford I am more concerned with the almost certainty that a super conservative court will overturn the reproductive rights of women, marriage legality, strengthen the power of the growing theocratic oligarchy, limit the civil rights of minorities through states rights rulings, and more.

The evidence that this is tRump's and the republican/conservative/evangelical agenda is plain to see. But when you support such power vested in the government you cheer such obscenities.

To repeat what I have said many times bey.The Progressives of America like Shaw, along with the Democrats, Libertarians Rinos, and other Crackpots like RN would rather see America crumble than see Trump succeed, as always

To repeat what i have said msny times before.The Progressives of America like Shaw, along with the Democrats, Libertarians Rinos, and other Crackpots like RN would rather see America crumble than see Trump succeed, as always

In truth and plan English here is what "Franco" means... Pray too that tRump is successful in his attempt to strip human rights from all who do not believe as conservatives, evangelical extremists, and Franco (aka FreeThinke) do.

Looks like the leftwingnutz have gone completely off the rails. Having some free time today I've watched a bit of cable news in anticipation of Trumps announcement tonight. If one had just awakened from a 20 year sleep and listened to the leftwingnutz on CNN and MSNBC today you'd have thought a comet was about to strike earth and kill all lifeforms....they are amazing

Yes, Rusty. Leftists have always been bomb throwers, anarchists and insurrectionists at heart. Being inherently crafty and devious by nature, however, they've now changed their style. They wear suits and ties, speak reasonably good English, and make a fairly credible attempt to appear civilized. They still stage riots in the ,streets, but their leaders now strive to appear far above all that while they support it behind the scenes.

The traitorous barbarians among us now bathe regularly, shave and get haircuts as they appear in today's equivalent of a Brooks Brothers suit. In this regard they are a lot like the pigs who stood upright in Orwell's Animal Farm ... or the wolves in sheep's clothing of biblcal fame.

You were misinformed. RBG only sneezed once in the middleof one of her frequent "bench naps". It startled her more than anyone else. Old ladies from her stock tend to be amazingly tough. Many live well into their nineties and even into their hundreds. I'm sure she'll be around for a long long time. Sad, I know.

Probably true. Either that or she would have tried to get Obama on the high bench or even her wayward, now pathetic and incfreasingly decrepit husband.

Conservatives and leftists alike should humbly offer up a prayer of thanksgiving that President Trump succeeded in defying all the odds, and beat the corrupt, hypocritical, self-serving candidate anointed in back rooms long ago by the ever-scheming Machiavellian Left.

President Trump made an Excellent choice, Judge Kavanaugh is a strong willed constitutionalist. Judge Kavanaugh who will honor and uphold the Constitution rather than trying to rewrite it. who will uphold our constitution Judge Brett Kavanaugh will be an excellent Supreme Court justice! I could not be more pleased. There is no question what so ever that he is very qualified and deserving of our nation's highest court.No wonder the Proggies are Shitting in their pants. This is why so many patriotic Americans voted for President Trump!And don't worry liberals, no one is coming after your abortions. We just want "common sense" abortion control, such as stricter laws on Late Term Abortions, and No public funding for them.

And as for the Liberal Moon Bats, they will be the same no mater what, and no matter who the President picked. In fact I heard that they were all ready to protest, and dragging out their “Pussy hats’ even before they knew who the nominee was going to be.

three hundred sixty years have pastmy words in sand now concrete castearth has circled all alongfor I was right and they were wrong

- for Galileo

Kid said in response :

BB, Great example of why I laugh every time some 'scientist' proclaims he has 'the answer' to anything. They've been wrong for thousands of years but still believe they can be finally right.

I, Franco Aragosta, responded to both:

Very clever rhyme! It contains much that is true, but it is not the Ultimate Truth.

Entrenched Power of ANY kind always becomes self-serving and self-protective. Roman Barbarians had the power in the pre-Christian era. "The Church" had the power in the Middle Ages, "Science" has it now.

The thing we need to fear most is ORTHODOXY of ANY kind.

The arrogance and self-righteeusness that come with any sort of cocksure attitude is the Achilles Heel of any form of dogmatic or doctriinal cant and rhetoric.

Life is fluid, evanescent, ever-changing, unpredictable and never competely knowable. Life by its very nature is not stable, so the attempts some have made to trap and solidify it have always been doomed to failure.

Even so, the Spirit who created and guides all is "unresting, unhasting, and silent as light, nor wanting nor wasting yet out of our sight. We blossom and flourish like leaves on a tree then withereth and fadeth, but naught changeth Thee."

True faith, which is always questing, is not at odds with Science just as true Science, which is also always questing, is not at odds with faith. Both Science and Faith search for the same thng –– TRUTH –– they only approach it frim different angles.

That means that t be real neither Faith nor Science can afford to be tendentious in their rhetoric or agenda-driven in their aims.

We pray today for the well-being of Judge Brett Kavanaugh who just yesterday was nominated by President Trump to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court left by Justice Anthony Kennedy.

We pray that he and his family will withstand with aplomb the incessant barrage of lies, snide, politically-motivated insults, barbed criticisms, vilification, and calumny to which he is sure to be subjected.

We pray too that his nomination will be approved in the senate, and that he will be seated on the high court before the November election.

Most of all we pray that Judge Kavanaugh, if he survives the barrage of dirty tricks and Kangaroo Court-like proceedings to which he is sure to be subjected by the pharisiaical, power mad hypocrites determined to badger and beleaguer him, that, unlike too many Republican appointees to the bench in the past, Judge Kavnaugh will prove to be the staunch, highly principled, reliably conservative presence on the court President Trump believes he will be.

Michael Safi The last three navy seals and the medic, who were with the boys for the last few days, are still in the cave. It is unclear when they will emerge, but they are said to be on their way out. The weakest boys were the last to be taken out, sources have said.
